Dennis unconcerned with team orders

(26-Jul-98) - McLaren boss Ron Dennis said he was happy with the result of
the race -- despite speculation that Ferrari had introduced team orders to
help Michael Schumacher onto the podium.

Dennis, who saw his team take their first 1-2 since the Spanish Grand Prix
in May, said: "What happened today was Formula One racing. There is
nothing wrong with that. It's why we're here -- to win races and win
championships.

"But only as long as the interpretation of the rules is consistent.
Today was the right outcome, with teams racing against teams."

But, in a veiled suggestions that brake problems were not to blame for
Ferrari's switching of drivers in the order, he said: "There is a
subtle difference between a masquerade and a charade. This was a
charade."
